Second in the series as Norse god Loki grumbles, snarks and doodles his way through his enchanted diary, recording the highs and (mostly) lows of living on Earth as an eleven-year-old boy. Bursting with illustrations, doodles and comic strips, this is an equally funny sequel to the hilarious Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Being Good. Loki’s view of mortal life is always amusing, as is his hugely inflated self-confidence. Eventually, though, he grudgingly learns some lessons about telling the truth, friendship and being less self-centred. At least temporarily. https://www.waterstones.com/book/loki-a-bad-gods-guide-to-taking-the-blame/louie-stowell/louie-stowell/9781529501223 When a classmate plays a prank on the teacher, Loki doesn’t mind taking the blame because it is funny.

I think the illustrations in the book are great and really look like they were drawn by an eleven year old boy. They are funny and silly and make me laugh.

The stories are accompanied with lots of doodle-style illustrations that will appeal to children who like reading Tom Gates and Diary of a Wimpy Kid-style of book. Unlike those stories, that have a purely contemporary setting, the Loki stories add a historical element and information about the Norse Gods – arguably offering a semi-educational element that teacher’s may approve of too!
